Well-known, talented Ghanaian Dancehall King, Shatta Wale returns with a brand new standalone track titled “Shattalogy”.
He’s been busy on the releasing front this year, and this one comes right behind his huge twenty-one-track “African King” album. For over a decade, the Shatta Movement boss has shown that he does not need a whole project to make noise. Songs like “Gringo” and “Dancehall King” have previously proven how well a song can carry his whole brand. Shattalogy keeps the same confidence, no features, just him and the beat.
Production is hard-hitting and professional, built throughout on strong drum rhythms and deep basslines. Catchy melodies sit over that dancehall base, giving the record great commercial punch. There’s nothing understated about this; it’s here to grab your attention from the first bar.
Shatta Wale rides the single with bold motivating vocals, going full throttle with his characteristic dancehall attitude. His delivery throughout is authoritative, balancing confidence with the distinctive hook-driven energy his repertoire is known for. And that’s what has kept him a mainstay in Ghana’s music industry for so long.
Shattalogy succeeds because Shatta Wale is totally confident in his own formula, dynamic, self-assured, clearly his.
